We docked in Alesund. There were two buses taking our group of knitters from the ship to the yarn factory-an English speaking one and a Norwegian one
The factory founder’s grandson gave us the tour of the factory his grandfather started in the late ninteen thirties.
Today we visited the Rauma Yarn Factory. The Arne and Carlos Knitting Cruise up the ucoast of Norway has been on my calendar since last January. It’s exciting to be here. The weather is chilly gray rain, windy, intermittent sun with wild waves and snow on the Troll Ladder Road so that Road was closed. I’m not feeling too sad we missed eleven hairpin turns without guard rails. For lunch we had Sour Cream Porridge. Raspberry juice and tea.
